AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
931 PM EST TUE JAN 6 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY NORTH ACROSS NORTH
CAROLINA TONIGHT...AS LOW PRESSURE OVER TENNESSEE MOVES
NORTHEAST...AND A TRAILING COLD FRONT PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE
AREA FOR THE LAST HALF OF THE WEEK...FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER COLD FRONT
BY THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MAIN AXIS OF THE FRONTAL BAND CURRENTLY EXTENDS ACROSS EAST TENN
INTO EXTREME WESTERN NC. MORE SCATTERED ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPED OUT
AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BAND ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA HAS DIMINISHED
GREATLY IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY IN A GRADUALLY STABILIZING AIR MASS.
THEREFORE...THE EARLIER TORNADO WATCH WAS CANCELLED. HOWEVER...THE
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT HAS NOT ENDED...THOUGH IT DOES REMAIN QUITE
LOW. THE SHORT TERM MODELS HAVE BEEN VERY PERSISTENT IN PULLING AN
AXIS OF BOUNDARY LAYER INSTABILITY INTO THE UPSTATE/NORTHEAST GA AS
THE FRONTAL BAND MOVES ACROSS THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. SHEAR
PROFILES DURING THE TIME WILL REMAIN QUITE FAVORABLE FOR ORGANIZED/
SHALLOW CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE SEVERE
THREAT IN THE HWO...MAINLY ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.

GRADUALLY DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS IS
RESULTING IN SOME GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS FROM THE UPSTATE INTO THE
SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS...WHICH MEET MARGINAL LAKE WIND CRITERIA. MOST
OF THESE STRONGER WINDS WILL LIKELY DIMINISH BY 3 AM...IF NOT
EARLIER...BUT WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME REPORTS OF DOWNED TREES DUE TO
THE GUSTY WIND/SATURATED SOIL COMBO...AND FEELING THE NEED TO HAVE A
PRODUCT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE...AN LWA HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED.

OTHERWISE...WARM/STATIONARY FRONT CONTINUES TO OSCILLATE ALONG THE
I-85 CORRIDOR IN THE NC PIEDMONT THIS EVENING. THIS SHOULD
EVENTUALLY LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT...WITH
LOCATIONS THAT EXPERIENCE FROPA SEEING A RATHER QUICK WARM-UP...
WHILE AREAS IN THE WARM SECTOR SHOULD SEE STEADY OR VERY SLOWLY
FALLING TEMPS.

WEDNESDAY...THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH EAST OF THE CWA AFTER
18Z. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN TO 15 TO 20 KTS WITH GUST TO 30
MPH ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. SHRA COVERAGE WILL GENERALLY
DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE DAY. HOWEVER...SCT SHRA MAY
CONTINUE ALONG THE WEST FACING SLOPES OF THE MTNS INTO THE LATE
AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 240 PM TUESDAY...THE NAM BRINGS AN ADVECTIVE SHORT WAVE INTO
THE NC MTNS AROUND 0600 UTC ON THU. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF PCPN
WITH THIS FEATURE ON THE NAM. HPC LIKED THIS SOLUTION WITH THEIR
INTERNAL SNOWFALL GRAPHICS...BRINGING A COUPLE INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS
THE CENTRAL AND NRN NC MTNS ALONG THE TN LINE. I/VE TONED THIS DOWN
A BIT...BUT I STILL HAVE 1 TO 2 INCHES ALONG THE TN LINE. I DID UP
THE TOTALS A BIT DOWN ACROSS THE HIGH ELEVATIONS OF GRAHAM AND SWAIN
COUNTIES AS THE FLOW WILL BE WESTERLY WHICH FAVORS HIGHER TOTALS IN
THESE LOCATIONS. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES...THEN A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR PART OF THE NC MTNS FOR WED
NIGHT.

WINDS ACROSS THE NRN MTNS WILL ALSO BE GUSTY THU MORNING. RIGHT NOW
WIND SPEEDS DON/T LOOK STRONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE...BUT THEY
WILL BE PUSHING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.

THU NGHT THROUGH FRI NIGHT LOOKS QUIET AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE REGION...DROPPING TEMPS BACK DOWN TO JUST A FEW DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM TUESDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE BEGINS 12Z SAT WITH AN UPPER
LVL SHORTWAVE APPROACHING THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE WEST.
DIFFERENCES CONTINUE AMONG THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS WITH THE GFS
CONTINUING TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WRT THE PROPAGATION OF A BROAD
UPPER LVL TROUGH. THIS TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE CONUS FOR THE REST OF
THE MEDIUM RANGE. DECIDED TO CONTINUE TO RELY MORE HEAVILY ON THE
ECMWF WHICH WAS MORE IN LINE WITH THE NEW HPC GUIDANCE. AT THE
SFC...BOTH MODELS HAVE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE SAT INTO EARLY SUN
WITH NW FLOW SETTING IN AFTER THE FROPA. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK
IN ON MON BUT IS QUICKLY PUSHED OFFSHORE AS ANOTHER SFC LOW MOVES
OVER THE REGION ON TUES. THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP APPEARS TO BE
DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE PERIOD ON SAT WHERE I WENT WITH A SOLID
CHANCE OVER MOST OF THE CWA. POPS WOULD BE HIGHER EXCEPT FOR THE
LACK OF AMPLE LOW LVL MOISTURE. WE ALSO MIGHT SEE SOME PRECIP AT THE
END OF THE PERIOD ON DAY 7 AS THE NEXT FROPA OCCURS.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT KCLT...COLD AIR DAMMING BOUNDARY HAS SLIPPED JUST SOUTH OF THE
TERMINAL... BUT IT IS NOT LIKELY TO PROGRESS FURTHER SOUTHWARD.
NEARBY SITES... EQY AND UZA... REMAIN ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE
BOUNDARY SO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN CEILING AND VISIBILITY WILL EXIST
OVER VERY SHORT DISTANCES.  TCLT VAD WIND AND NAM12 WIND PROFILES
CONTINUE TO INDICATE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR REMAINS A POSSIBILITY AS
LONG AS SURFACE BOUNDARY REMAINS SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT AND SLOPES
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AERODROME. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE NORTHEAST LESS
THAN 10 KT WHILE SOUTH WIND IN THE RANGE 25 TO 35 KT EXISTS AT 2K
FT. LARGE SCALE VIEW OF SYSTEM MOVING INTO SOUTHEASTERN U.S.
INDICATES STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD ENCOURAGE GRADUAL
EROSION OR WEAK NORTHWARD DRIFT OF SURFACE BOUNDARY... SO EXPECT
SURFACE WIND TO BECOME VARIABLE THEN SHIFT TO SOUTH PRIOR TO 06Z.
CEILING AND VISIBILITY SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR WITH ONSET OF
SOUTHERLY WIND. AFTER 06Z... CEILING AND VISIBILITY WILL LOWER ONCE
AGAIN TO IFR AS MAIN PREFRONTAL PRECIPITATION MOVES INTO TERMINAL
AREA. CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE THUNDER IN TAF... BUT WILL MONITOR
TRENDS FOR POSSIBLE INCLUSION LATER. FRONT WILL CROSS AREA FROM THE
WEST AFT 13Z WITH VFR CEILING AND VISIBILITY RETURNING. WIND WILL
SHIFT TO WEST AROUND 15 KT.

ELSEWHERE...IFR AND MVFR CEILING AND VISIBILITY WILL CONTINUE NORTH
OF THE COLD AIR DAMMING BOUNDARY AND ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. CEILING
AND VISIBILITY IN WARM SECTOR... PRIMARILY ACROSS SC... WILL BE VFR
WITH SCATTERED MVFR IN RAIN SHOWERS UNTIL CONDITIONS GRADUALLY LOWER
ENTIRE AREA BY 06Z AS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND FRONTAL PRECIPITATION
APPROACH FROM THE WEST. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG AND
GUSTY WINDS COULD OCCUR MOSTLY VICINITY GSP... AND... GMU... BUT
WILL NOT INCLUDE IN TAF AT THIS TIME BECAUSE PROBABILITY AT EACH
SITE IS LOW. LOW AND FRONT WILL EXIT CWA BETWEEN 12Z AND 15Z
WEDNESDAY WITH GUSTY WESTERLY WIND AND VFR CEILING AND VISIBILITY.

OUTLOOK...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN GUSTY WEDNESDAY EVENING.
OTHERWISE...CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR INTO THE WEEKEND WITH
BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE.
